Bulimia Nervosa
Bulimia nervosa involves recurring cycles of binge eating and compensatory behaviors (purging, fasting, excessive exercise). CBT-Enhanced (CBT-E) is the gold-standard outpatient treatment for adults. Many individuals with bulimia do not need residential care — an outpatient therapist and dietitian team is often sufficient. The providers below specialize in bulimia recovery.

Can bulimia be treated in outpatient therapy?
Yes — most individuals with bulimia nervosa are treated successfully in outpatient therapy. CBT-Enhanced (CBT-E) is the gold standard and typically runs 20 sessions. Many people see significant reduction in binge/purge cycles within 12 weeks.
Do I need a dietitian alongside a therapist for bulimia?
Yes. An ED-specialized registered dietitian is a critical part of the treatment team for bulimia. They help normalize eating patterns, address food rules and restriction that drive binge cycles, and support medical monitoring of nutritional status.
